The Verdict.

The Hamilton Gamhrell case mas
been tried again and again in town
and in various places here with
different verdicts. At Redding q
Lear's on Saturday. Judge Gusdofer
presiding, and Major Chas. Mann
as foreman If the jury, the follow
ing four conclusions were reached
LIST. That newspapers are too
meddlesome anyhow.
End. That ir Jones Hamilton did
steal, the Legislature had vindic"ted
him.
3rd. That with reference to the
$50, 900 the proof was that Hamilton
did not deiraud the State, but
merely intended To do so.
4th. That Gambrcll had sur
rounded Hamilton and his friends
and forced them to slay him.-Id'

Sees Charley Wright and Oliver
Clifton and Goes One Better.

While in conversation last Tues
day evening with Bishop Hugh
Miller Thompson the subject Of the
Jackson Tragedy came up. He said:
There is but one opinion in Jack
son regarding the Hamilton.Gam-
brell tragedy, and that is in favor
of Hamilton. l believe every word
Hamilton says about it; and as for
that fellow Gambrell, it is good
thing he WAS killed. He was moth.
ing but a BLACKBOARD going about
with his pockets full Of pistols
ready to kill somebody. He had
to be killed, and it was well Ham,
ilton did 1.-THE scoundrel. He had
no interest on earth, nor in heaven"
Such sentiments coming from one
who Processes to be a follower OF
Christ is truly astounding-they
made the cold chills run over US;
and, although We make no Profcs
si"ns Of piety, we pity Bishop
Thompson from the bottom of our
heart. Hamilton did no worse
when he struck the dead hero in
the face with his pistol while in the
last throcs of death. God deliver
us from Il religion that makes men
no better than To harbor such senti-
nents as are declared by the Bishop
shove. -PdScdgoula Democrat

Among the many whose candi-
dacv tor the Office of Governor will
he urged by their friends, none
would present stronger following,
and none would grace the executive
office with more starhke purity OF
character and glittering strength OF
intellect than Judge J. b. Chrisman,
of Brookhsven. A pure and perfect
gentleman, a consistent Christian,
an eminent lawyer, and just and
able judge, he has splcndidly filed
every station which the chances and
changes of life have called him TO
occupy. Starting in life with no
vantage ground gained, but all to
win, he began the life struggle as
an editor and publisher, setting all
his own type, and step by step by
his undaunted energy and ability he
has risen to his present prominence.
We do not know that he will allow
his name TO be used as that of a
candidate for the Gubernatorial
chair, but should be do so, there
will rally around his standard a
strong and enthusiastic following

attorneys In the writ Of hdbeds cor

The Cause and the Remedy.

The following preamble and rcso-
luton unanimously adopted by the
Phoenix Grange Of Jefferson county
at recent meeting, give the cause
and suggest the true remedy for
the unthrifty condition of the
farming class Of our people:
WORTHY MASTER: The under
signed committee on Agriculture
heing impressed by recent Stats
tics which show that q majority
Of our farmers a'e under mort
gage, and being aware that the
greater number of these mortga-
yes have been given to procure
such things as can he raised on
every farm. as fruits, vegetables,
food and forage crops, horses,
mules, cattle, sheep, hogs, etc,
have determined, notwithstanding
the lateness of the season, to Of
fer the following resolution, and
ask it's publication in the Fayette
Chronicle, hoping 1t may arrest
The attention of some one who is
vainly striving to make cotton
with which to buy a living, and
paying an average of more than
100 per cent. for the supplies con-
sumed in the effort.
Resolved, That VIC will utilize
every means and opportunity tn
increase our present food and for
age crops, go that We may not be
forced To ask assistance in max
ing the crop for another year.

W. j. Brown, Jr., Deputy Circuit
Clerk of Kinds county, an intense Ham.
ilton partisan who has been serving al
the trial of Gambrell's murderers, became
so incensed at the trial yesterday at the
rebuttal testimony of State witness who
had completely impeached an important
negro witness for the defense, that he
grossly insulted him as soon as he left
the stand. Mr.. Blount, the States wit
ness referred to, resented the Insult by
knocking Brown down, and Judge Pey.
ton had the officious deputy clerk placed
under arrest.

II the farmers want to choose and
elect all the officers in the county
and for one we have no objection to
their doing it if they will put for
ward their hest men there is no
surer way Of their succeeding than
by their going into nominating
convention and naming their men
They have the numbers and hence
everything their own way, but il
they disregard the necessity of organ
ization and concentration of their
vote, there will be q division in
their ranks aud the men elected will
be town gentlemen" and mos,
probably men a majority of the
farmers do not want.

There seems to be less confidence than
formerly. in Eastern religious circles,
about the sincerity of the Chinese who
enrol themselves in the ranks OF Sunday
schools, and otherwise show outward
signs Of conversion to the Christian faith.
Some now go SO far as to doubt if .
single Chinaman has been really con.
yerted of the hundreds who have pro-
fessed to be-. The Boston Budget gives
the experience of a lady prominently
identified with Sunday school work,
who, for a time, devoted much attention
to the progress Of Chinese pupils. One
day the lady called at the laundry Of one
Of her celestial proteges, and in the
course of conversation asked him if he
did not think the Sunday school did him

NEVADA TO THE FORE.
Reno Reduction Works and the
Proposed New Railroad.
Reno G0xSffS

Keno Gazette.
8. Fl. Babcock, contracting agent of the
D. & r. G.. II. R. at Salt Lake City, has
been spending a day or two in Reno on bust
ness. He says the Reno Reduction Works
have an enviable reputation among the
people of Utah. Already there have been
made several shipments OF ore to this
place for reduction, instead Of to Salt
Lake City, and there will be many more
large shipments in the near future. In
many respects the reduction works here
give much better satisfaction TO patrons
than do the works either at Salt Lake
City or Denver.
Mr.. Babcock also thinks that Nevada
will soon have another railroad. He says
that President Palmer Of the Denver d
Rio Grande railroad Ia now in London
for the purpose OF raising funds with
which to extend that rosd from Green
river in Central Eastern Utah to Santa
Cruz, q distance of 800 miles. He thinks
1t ia understood between the managers of
this road and Senator Fair that when
ever they wish it, and at q price agreed
upon. the former may have the South
Pacific Coast road. extending from Oak
land to Santa Cruz. The proposed ex-
tension Of this road will be through Lin
coin and Nye counties, passing through
Phoebe. The conjunction Of this road
will probably be commenced within the
next few months, and when completed
there will be al inducement for miners
and spectators to open mp some of the
richest mining sections found anywhere on
the Pacific Coast.
